Escaping to an exotic location for some well-deserved winter warmth? Then you’re most likely seeking out those out-of-season wardrobe updates for your getaway. Look to the cruise collections which sit between seasons and give a good indication of the styles many of us will be wearing come spring.

Originally created for wealthy fashionistas, traveling to warmer destinations during our winter, designers compiled capsule wardrobes consisting of wearable pieces to fit easily in their holiday suitcases.

Sophie Hulme paneled striped jersey and crepe top, £300

No cruise collection would be complete without a classic Breton top but Sophie Hulme's design provides a modern update on the much-loved original. Nautical stripes are overlaid on a sharp white background giving them a 3D depth effect. Slip your favourite wide-legged white trousers in to your case and work the chicest sailor look this season.
